I have tested this on two platform: DRA74 SoC (cortex a15 @1GHz) with s25fl256s1 QSPI (SPI bus frequency 76.8 MHz) and I don't see any performance degradation with UBIFS read/write(10MB file). AM437x SoC (cortex a9 @1GHz) with macronix mx66l51235l QSPI flash (SPI bus frequency 48MHz) and performance degradation is <4% for UBIFS.
